EcoFrog

The EcoFrog is the best alternative for thread floats, dipsticks, tank gauges or other mechanical systems and can also be used where connection to the mains is impossible. With the Ecofrog, there is no need to check your cellar, cistern, apartment building to avoid an empty tank. You can also easily read the consumption and compare prices for heating oil in time and prepare for the next order. Other areas where they are applied are underground tanks, reservoirs, storage tanks, and drums with a volume of at least 200 litres.

The Proteus Ecofrog comes with the option of wireless communication. When installed on the tank, it measures the level every 6 hours and transmits measured values to the data server in 24h intervals. Once a day, the sensor sends the data through the built-in WiFi module to the nearby WiFi modem connected to the device. Any modem that supports the WiFi standard 802.11 b/g/n is suitable for connecting the EcoFrog to a WiFi network. Multiple EcoFrogs can be connected to a WiFi modem. When the modem is connected to the Internet, it automatically sends the collected tank level data to the cloud-based database.

It does come with an effecient user interface that gives you quick and easy access to your level data, either through a smartphone or a laptop. They have a web app that's connected to the cloud system Microsoft Azure, in which data is stored securely and ready for access. After you have logged in to the web app with your user data, you can select one of your sensors and immediately display the current filling level of the respective tank.

To ensure the best possible installation condition, note that the EcoFrog must be installed at a safety distance of at least 15 cm from tank walls and obstacles in the tank so that the ultrasonic signal from the sensor cannot be disturbed. The ultrasonic sensor can only measure within a maximum range of 3 metres. It is important to note that fuel oil tanks are subject to special regulations and changes must only be made by licensed specialists. Make sure that there is a stable WiFi connection after mounting the device. Download and follow the latest version of the installation manual before installation.
